Dangerous lightning, thunderstorms and wind gusts between 40 and 50 mph are possible for a large area across southeast Texas — including Bexar County — Friday afternoon and into the evening, according to the National Weather Service.

A hazardous weather outlook will remain in effect throughout the day and the forecast indicates showers and thunderstorms likely could start after 2 p.m.

Thursday night, two boys were struck by lightning in the 4700 block of Barons Ridge Drive on the West Side. They remained hospitalized early Friday.

Chances for thunderstorms are forecast to remain at 20 percent through Saturday night.

Temperatures Friday should stay just below 100, though the heat index will make it feel like 101. The low is 75 degrees.

Saturday's storms, if they materialize, are predicted to hit San Antonio hardest between 2 p.m. and 8 p.m.

For Sunday, Monday and Tuesday, the NWS predicts clear skies, highs in the mid-90s and lows around 75.
